2011 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Complaints

TAKATA AIR BAG-- SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THE RECALL, TOYOTA HAS INSTRUCTED US NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THEY HAVE NOT FURNISHED A TIME LINE FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. ALSO, I AM UNABLE TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN DUE TO THE RECALL. TOYOTA IS BLAMING NHTSA FOR THE EXTENDED RECALL. NOW THE PUBLIC IS AGAIN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTIONS.

I HAD MY GREAT GRANDSON IN REAR BACKSIDE ON RIGHT HAND SIDE, PLACE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON WHILE HE WAS WITH ME UNTIL I RETURNED HIM TO HIS MOTHER. TRIED TO REMOVE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS UNABLE. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA OF MCDONOUGH THEY STATED THAT SOMETHING WAS BROKE. I PURCHASE THIS TRUCK FROM OVER $38,000.00 IN 2011 NEVER USED THE CHILD LOCK UNTIL MY GREAT GRANDSON. TOYOTA OF MCDONOUGH SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS TELLING ME THAT I WILL BE PAY AROUND ABOUT FIGURE OF $300.00 TO 600.00 TO HAVE THE PART REPLACE. I FEEL THAT SINCE I HAVE NEVER USE THIS UNTIL I HAD MY GREAT GRANDSON WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONTINUE TO HAVE MY SERVICE DONE AND NOT JUST THAT I HAVE ALSO PURCHASE A 2014 CORILLA OVER $27,000.00 BOTH VEHICLE BRAND NEW. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEED BACK ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS REAR CHILD SAFETY LOCK.

PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT FRONT WHEEL HUB A BEARING FROM A SELLER ON EBAY. THE COMPONENT IS ADVERTISED AND LABELED AS KOYO, THE NAME ON THE ORIGINAL BEARING. AFTER A MONTH THE PART FAILED. LEARNED THEN THAT THE PART IS A COUNTERFEIT. THE SAME COUNTERFEIT ITEM IS FOR SALE BY SEVERAL SELLERS ON EBAY. THIS IS A CRITICAL PART AND FAILURE COULD CAUSE SEVERE VEHICLE DAMAGE AND AN ACCIDENT ENDANGERING LIVES OF PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE AND OTHER HIGHWAY USERS. REPORTED TO EBAY BUT THE ITEMS ARE STILL BEING SOLD.

TOYOTA HIGH LANDER, 2011. THE POWER LIFTGATE ARM ON THE REAL TRUNK IS DETACHED FROM THE LIFTGATE. IT LOOKED TO ME AS IF THE SCREW BECAME STRIPPED AND CAME OUT OF THE HOLE. AND THEY SAID IT ISN'T COVERED AND THEY WILL CHARGE TO THE OWNER AND IT COSTS AROUND $3500.00, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CASE AND HOW IT DETACHED FROM THE BODY.
